Term
AA and SAS congruence thereoms
Definition
AA: if two angles of a triangle are 2 angles of another triangle, then the 2 triangles are similar.
SAS: if 2 sides of a triangle are proportional to 2 sides of another triangle and the angles in between are congruent, then the triangles are similar.

Definition
when statement p or statement q is true AND q is not true, then p is true.
Term
Law of Detachment
Definition
If both p->q are true, then you can conclude that q is true.
Term
True or False:

If p->q is true, and q is true, then you can conclude that p is true.
Definition
FALSE
Term
Law of Transitivity
Definition
If both p->q are true and q->r is true, then you can conclude that p->r is true.
Term

Showing all the possibilities and show that only one works.
Steps:
1. Write "suppose the (opposite)" of what you're trying to prove
2. Produce a contradiction
3. End with "therefore..." (what you're trying to prove) (3 dotted triangle symbol = therefore)
